Knotting is an ancient technique used in many cultures around the world.
The technique of tying knots on ropes have been around since the earliest civilisations.
However - it is only “recently”- in the past few thousand years - that decorative knots are used as status symbols or with added spiritual elements.
The Heart knot is a celtic knot - named because it can be molded into the shape that they normally use to depict the heart. It is a very easy knot to tie without tools - thus especially appropriate for beginners.
The Lucky knot is a Chinese knot- but the actual reasoning behind its name is not known. An easy knot to teach - but tools are needed to properly tie it.
At their specially tailored workshops for Maker Faire 2017 - you will learn how to tie one or both of the above knots - and attach your craft work onto a key holder with metal frame. Though originally meant as a photo frame- you can also insert dried flowers - famous quotes - paper cuttings - confetti - or whatever you like. Use it as a tag to identify your property. In their fast aging society - gift this to a forgetful loved one and pen your contact number as an insert in case he/she gets lost.
